A GREAT BORE.
Progress of the Stampede Tunnel
Through the Cascade Mountains.

The follow wing information in regard
to the Stampede tunnel through the
Cascade mountains is taken from the
YAKIMA, w. T., Signal: The combined
progress made from the two ends of the
tunnel is about 1871 feet per day. About
400 feet have been bored. This has
been accomplished IN a little over a
years work, portion of which time
was without the aid of teams. 1t took
two years to build the Mullen and
Bozeman tunnels, the lengths of which
are not as great as the finished work of
the Stampede tunnel. At the present
rate OF progress the tunnel will be COM
pleted on the 5th day of November of
this year. For this work Bennett
receives from the company $85 per
linear foot, with extra pay tor timber
ing. The rock, which is conglomerate
blush gray stone, is soft and easily
worked. Timbering is required most of
the distance. On the east side there
are but two breaks in the timbeIing
one of forty and the other of seventy
feet. The trayersing of this giant cavern
carries with it feeling of awe which is
not leSSeneu by the OH OF the ma
chinery, the rushing of waters and the
uncanny lights of the electric candles.
There are about tw 'nty-hYe candles in
each end of the tunrel, and the cost is
only six cents to the light per day, the
me- chlnery used Ii working the drills

reached where the four Burleigh drills,
two each III the face and bench, are
engaged in their cesseless toll of con-
meeting the agricultural gardens Of
eastern Washington with the timber
domain of the sound. The workers
look like unearthly beings and well
earn the money they receive. The drill

it also happens that the mutual pawnbroker

has played his cards 50 well that he has been
permitted To call by one of tho ladies, and
thereby has aroused the jealousy of the other
Very injudiciously he made remarks about
one of the ladies to Il friend of tho other, and
the lady spoken Of straitway went to the
paWnbrolcr and high time was the result
She then sought the house of her rival, and
the conversation which cnsued was delivered
III tone higher than that which society die
tates. The result is that the two ladies arc
enemies, that they have both withdrawn their
custom from the -Alonis like pawnbroker and
that each has probably adopted another
uncle i'll another part OF the city.
The pawnbrokers of Washington make
great deal of moncy. There is no place
where the ups and downs of life occur more
rapidly than here, and some very rare bits
CT jewelry find their way into the pawn
brokers' hands. Fast young men, disap,

department clerks now and then patronize

these lenders OF money 1T high rates have
grown rich
Secretary Villas lives in house that was

prominent men Who furnish the capital for
brokers who lend at 10 Per cent a month.
These brokers, however. do not take col
lateral as security They lend to govern
ment clerks, who often pay their principal
several times over in interest, and you may
find lenders of this kind about tho very doors
of congress. The brokers Of the capital lend
to the congressman as well as to the en-

The chief justice lives nearer the White

you may see him at any president reception
with his daughter on one arm and either his

on social etiquette, and Mrs. Justice Field is
known as ''thc hostess of tho court" Both
she and Judge Field arc fond of society," and
it costs the judge more than his $4,000 sal
airy to pay his living expenses Mrs. Justice
Bradley is the daughter of Chief Justice
Hornblowcr, of New Jersey. Mrs. Har-
Ian is fond of society, and will probably en-

The richest judge Of the supreme court is
probably Bradley. He is supposed to be
worth $50, 900. Waite is also wcll TO do, and
Field has something Of an income outside Of
bis salary. Field has been longer on the
bench than a1y of them, and the years that
he has served as a judge run back into the
fifties He was on the supreme bench Of
California when he was appointed by Lin

lican judge at this time the supreme court
would now be entirely republican.

George Victor, of Waldecl Tho heir
to the throne is Princess Wilhclmine
Helene, only seven years old To have the
right to wear the crown the princess, when
she arrives at maturity, must marry 4 person
approved by the Dutch states general Dur
ing the minority of the princess, Queen
Emma will govern with the assistance of Il
council of regents.
According to the Sale law, the princes, as
heir to the throne OF Holland, will have to
give up any claim to the grand ducal throne
of Luxembourg to the prince OF Nassau. next
in line of succession to her.
King William was recently reported very
i'll, but he is now well again, and the foreign
correspondents have thought it of enough
importance to cable their journals the fact
that he has signalizcd his recovery by shaving
off his beard. The cut which had prepared
for this brief letter was made before that i'm
portant piece of news was received in this
country, and therefore represents tho king
# the Netherlands as he was before his i'll
ness.
A recent letter from Paris tells a very
pretty story of the marriage of King William
to the present queen, as follows
''1n 1873 tho king went to Potstlam to at
tend the marriage of his brother, Prince
4lcmy, u HHu dUhC VI AuACiuUOuIR, WIN
Princess Mary Of Prussia. There he met
Princess Helen Of Waldeck-P yrmont, and
then began romance that has never yet
been printed In vain did tho king try to
please the princess Jewels and flowers were
offered her, but all she refused because of the
difference in age. Helen's younger sis
ter, Emma, exclaimed: In your place
l would not refuse to become
queen William, hearing this, said: Since
you find that your sister is wrong, will
you do better and marry mep Emma i'm
mcdiately accepted, and in January, 1879,
became queen of Holland. Only in 1882 did
Helen find the Duke of Albany, whom she
considered husband of suitable age. Today,
in her 30th year, Queen Emma is the child
she was at Arolsen. Were to say she is
popular in the kingdom l would be far from
the truth. The Dutch detest even the most
talented Germans, and Emma is typical
country Gretchen Size has by great effort
acquired knowledge of the Dutch language,
but she speaks it very Incorrectly. However,
the fact that she is good nurse for the
king reconciles in some degree her Dutch
subjects" CHARLES LINNLEY.
